Hi,
I'm hoping someone might be able to identify this switch and where I might be able to source one.
It's located outside a bathroom and operates the bathroom light and extractor fan. Left to right: light switch, fan switch, fuse (presumably for fan). As you can see the faceplate is damaged...

A three phase kitchen appliance is rated at 7.5kw. Now is this in total over the three phases or per phase? If over 3 phases then I guess that's 2.5kw per phase or 10.8amps per phase. The more I think about it the more I think it's over three phases.
